Ivry-sur-Seine

For WDR Cologne

https://iainchambers.bandcamp.com/album/ivry-sur-seine

Composition, sound design, direction of audio play about futurism and life within brutalist architecture in Ivry-Sur-Seine, Paris, composed from location field recordings.

Awarded the Palma Ars Acustica 2021:

"Iain Chambers has managed to rethink brutalist architecture in the medium of sound and in the human, sociological context while maintaining a compositional logic of the highest order. Ivry-sur-Seine is both confrontation - physical, tactile, auditory, emotional confrontation - with the living environment, and great musique concrete in every moment of the piece." — Jury citation
